Hello,

I've been working on the design for this website - http://www.keison.co.uk/test/ .

The side menus are in javascript, which I realise is not a generally good thing, as this website's search engine rankings are important.

However, my way to combat this is to use the text links at the bottom of the page (specifically the Product Index) to list the other pages on the website, so that technically every single page can be indexed via standard text links.

My question is by doing the above, will this have any adverse effect on search engine rankings?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi:

Currently, I'm making my web pages 'by hand'. That is, I use an editor, and laboriously crank out and test my pages on IE, safari, FireFox and Opera.

But this is agonizingly slowwwwww !

What tools do *professional* webbers use to build sites ??

What would you folks here suggest as a useful tool for web-building that would speed up my building, but result in clean editable pages ?

(btw, I'm an expert database man, but quit a neophyte in web design.)

My 'forte' is building Windows business applications (Inventory, Accounting, etc, etc) using xBase database software (i.e., the xHarbour language).

I can hardly wait until I can get 'behind-the-scenes' and do database work to back up my (pathetic) designs.

Thanks for any hints.

Hi i'm designing a static sub menu and thought it would be cool to get suggestions on what approaches you guys would take. The reason i'm asking is because i'd like to see if my approach exhibits efficient coding.

This is an image mockup of what i'm trying to achieve.



And this is what i'm thinking of doing.




Thanks in advance guys.

Hello! I need a website built and have very basic knowledge of html. I will be selling t-shirts and need a professional looking web page. I want the customer to be able to select a variety of options for each t-shirt, starting with size. Once size is picked, the available options for colors will reduce to the available colors for that size t-shirt. Once color is picked, the available options for the type of shirt will reduce whatever types of red XL t-shirts I have in stock (v-neck, button up, tee, etc). As well as t-shirts I will also be selling other product, which will just be added to cart, with no customization. I would also like a shipping estimate for the customer's cart based on their zipcode.

I also need a referral program added into the site. I want to be able to give some my url with their code in the string that will automatically add 30% of the profit they generate on my site. Note: this is profit made from each product, not revenue. I want them to be able to be able to check their balances quick and easy.

This is the basic layout I would like, if you have any other ideas feel free to implement them or ask my opinion. I will choose the design that I feel is: a.) simple to use and edit, b.) looks professional, c.) user friendly.

Thank you for your time and their will be more chances at making money from your home in the future.

Im trying to copy the design of http://www.bluelounge.com but for the content instead of a page, i was trying to make it iFrame. Because i will be putting a streaming music on the Nav bar on the left, and its not going to be moving so its just stuck there while the iframe resizes and scrolls on different pages.

What im having trouble with is, i have no idea on how to code the iFrame so that its the main scroll bar and i dont know how to automatically resize it.

The main page for the iFrame is going to be the contents of a blog from blogspot.com

Can someone help me please? Thanks!

Here is what i want.

I got into this about 5/6 years ago when I had to design a basic site for school so taught myself some CSS, we were using dreamweaver.

I've been wanting to get back into it recently and was just wondering best way to do this? I was thinking about experimenting with maybe wordpress or another CMS.

I'd like to get back into a bit of photoshop or fireworks as well not sure where I'll find the time but eventually maybe.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Bottom image pulls up nicely on FF and Safari. However there is a thin line that breaks the 2 background images.

Try on IE9

Can any one help me how to design web for mobile. I design a web by Frontpage, look beautiful in PC but can not read in mobile. Thanks in advance

My website is split up into 4 parts. The top banner, the left menu, the right menu, and the center part. My left menu is floating left and my right menu is floating right. I want to add content in the center but when I do, the side menus are moved downwards. I tried floating the center but it pushed it past the left menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I begin coding a web design PSD? Any decent tutorials?

I know that one could use Adobe Fireworks and slice up the images, but I don't have Fireworks.

Its Look:
Your site looks fresh and modern, while maintaining the same brand image you're offline. Choose the same colors for your website if you use in other marketing materials, and the same logo. The site must be visually appealing, with many interesting features, but not too finicky or distracting. The layout should be easy to understand, let visitors to the site easy to navigate to the pages they want.
Put Your Customers First
Thinking about search engines and how your page rank in Google is great, but there is no point if your visitors will simply click away from your site within a few seconds of landing. Your goal is to convert visitors into customers, so make sure your site is customer friendly. Keep popular items and contact information easy to find and keep multiple menus where visitors click a few links to find the information they need to bury your site structure.
Do not Be spammy
This follows from the above point, that your site must be designed primarily for visitors with SEO as a secondary consideration. Not stuff your pages full of keywords so that the content does not make sense. You also need to clearly send the wrong tactics such as adding a list of keywords to the bottom of your pages, and cluttering the site with too much advertising.
Make it quick
Online visitors want information fast, and they have no patience to wait while a large image or fancy graphics load. Make sure your pages load quickly, with key information charging first. If you have large files or videos, put them in a position where the reader can still browse the rest of the page, while the larger elements to load. If you have a Flash site to think about offering an alternative simple html link for visitors with slow Internet connection.
Do your homework
Think long and hard about your audience before you search
Use Neat and Easy Navigation
You make sure your site is browser compatible
Minimize the use of images
Use of white space
Check for broken links
Design for all Screen Resolution
Typography
Colors use good
Layout make perfect
